A Border Patrol agent arrested last year for possessing an illegal firearm and heroin was sentenced to three years’ probation and time served.
Brandon James Herrera was arrested in April 2016 after police in Oceanside, Calif., found a short-barrel rifle and about five grams of heroin in the agent’s trunk, NBC7 reports.
Police pulled over Herrera after they said his truck matched the description of a vehicle driven by a suspicious person.
Herrera pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of an assault weapon on July 23.
